FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Viviscent Wellness Foundation Launches ‘Homes for Hope’ to Provide Affordable Housing for Veterans and Underserved Families
[City, State] — March 6, 2025 — The Viviscent Wellness Foundation (VWF) is proud to announce the launch of its newest initiative, Homes for Hope, a groundbreaking program designed to provide affordable, sustainable housing for veterans and underserved families. With the rising cost of living and an increasing number of individuals facing housing insecurity, Homes for Hope aims to create a pathway to stable homeownership through a merit-based program that fosters self-sufficiency and community engagement.
Addressing the Need for Affordable Housing
According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), over 37,000 veterans experience homelessness on any given night, while thousands of underserved families struggle to find stable housing. Homes for Hope directly addresses this crisis by offering not only shelter but also a holistic approach to self-sustaining homeownership.
How Homes for Hope Works
Unlike traditional housing assistance programs, Homes for Hope empowers participants to earn their homes through a combination of sweat equity, financial education, and community service. The program includes:
- Sweat Equity: Participants contribute at least 200 hours of labor toward building or renovating homes, assisting in community projects, or engaging in workforce training.
- Financial Literacy & Stability Training: Home recipients complete an education program focused on budgeting, credit building, and homeownership responsibilities.
- Income-Based Affordable Payment Plans: A portion of the home cost is covered by donations and sponsorships, with the remainder structured as a low-cost, income-based payment plan.
- Veteran & Workforce Training Integration: Veterans and workforce participants can earn homeownership credits through job training and mentorship programs.
Community Sponsorship Goals
VWF is seeking community support and sponsorships to build homes and expand the program’s reach. The foundation aims to raise at least $150,000, which will directly fund the construction of homes for those in need.
| Fundraising Goal | Impact |
|---|---|
| $50,000 | Builds a 1-bedroom home for underserved persons or a veteran. |
| $75,000 | Funds a 2-bedroom home and provides mental health & job training services. |
| $100,000 | Provides a 3-bedroom sustainable home with long-term support. |
| $150,000+ | Builds multiple homes or a small housing village for underserved families. |
